This script is beginning to be useful. You should start thinking about the data you work with on a regular basis, and how these techniques could automate what you have to do to this data. Scripts like this can easily be set to run automatically through the use of cron or similar tools.
Anyway, here is the script so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#Search for songs in a file of the following tab-separated data:
# title, duration, artist, album, year, rating, rip date, track position, genre
#options for the --format switch
@validFormats = ("raw", "simple", "html", "summary");
$validFormats = englishJoin(", ", "or", @validFormats);
#options for fields to search in
@validFields = ("artist", "album", "song", "genre");
$validFields = englishJoin(", ", "and", @validFields);
#strip off the command-line switches and act on or remember them
while ($ARGV[0] =~ /^--(.+)/) {
$switch = $1;
#pull this switch off of the front of the list
shift;
#if they ask for help, do it and exit
if ($switch eq "help") {
help();
exit;
} elsif ($switch eq "case") {
$sensitive = 1;
} elsif ($switch eq "reverse") {
$reverse = 1;
} elsif ($switch eq "limit") {
$limit = shift;
if ($limit !~ /^[1-9][0-9]*$/) {
print "\nYou must limit to a number, such as '33' or '2'.\n\n";
help();
exit;
}
} elsif ($switch eq "format") {
$format = shift;
if (!grep(/^$format$/, @validFormats)) {
print "\nFormat must be $validFormats.\n\n";
help();
exit;
}
} elsif (grep(/^$switch$/, @validFields)) {
if ($searchText = shift) {
$searches{$switch} = $searchText;
} else {
print "\nSearching in $switch requires text to search on.\n\n";
help();
exit;
}

print "\nI can only sort by $validFields.\n\n";

exit;
}

} else {
print "\nI do not understand the option '$switch'.\n\n";
